You know, sometimes it's just not worth the aggravation.
Funny...  I've been running OS/2 since the first ever
shipment of version 2.0 (what was that around 1992?).  I've
ran about every configuration imaginable since then
including the "full" versions and the "with" and "w/o" and
"for" Windows versions in both Dual Boot and Boot Manager
setups and also, now, on a peer-to-peer network.  I've
recently loaded up NT as one of my multiple boot options
since I support WindowsNT for a living (and Digital Unix).
I've got the OS/2 and NT peer machines talking to each
other over the network no matter what OS happens to be
booted up at any given time.  I've learned a lot of what I
know about OS/2 through actual experience as well as
reading this echo and others like it. Why do I mention all
this?
Because... As of late I seem to be seeing a noticeable
increase in nit-picking replies seemingly designed to do
nothing but discredit the original poster.  As we all know
there is always more than one way to interpret the written
word.  Inevitably, someone reads between the lines or picks
out some detail that is in error (no matter how
insignificant to the real topic at hand) and challenges the
poster on it. When this happens it ceases to be fun.  What
ever happened to fun?
Lately... I've been reading the Internet Newsgroups and
Fido Echoes concerning WindowsNT.  They seem much friendlier
than the OS/2 areas that I've been visiting these past
years.  Wonder why?  Beats me, but I still like to follow
the areas that are fun.  That's why I do this to begin
with.
Anyhow, sorry, I'm off my soap-box, promise.
